IIOVEA LINEARIS. 



This was introduced from New South 

 Wales as early as 1796, but has always been 

 rare, as it is a plant of difficult cultivation 

 and not very long-lived. It seldom ex- 

 ceeds a foot in height, and flowers in the 

 month of March. 



It must be kept in a warm greenhouse, 



they seldom come to maturity here. The 

 soil should be sandy peat.
